There's no rule of journalism that says you have to show a president telling lie after lie – uncorrected – many times a day. That's a decision that corporate media are making for purposes other than delivering the truth to the public.

Musk is, apparently, unimpressed with Doge's success.
Well, if the objective was to make government more efficient, he is right. But if Doge's objective was to kill hundreds of thousands of adults and children overseas, it was a brilliant success!

As a geriatrician, I know some other words for the weave, like tangentiality and circumlocution.
Trump: "I love the weave, the weave, you know what the weave is? You go here, bing-bing-bing-bing. You always have to get back to the right location.”

If you follow discussions of hepatitis B immunization of infants on social media, you’ll come to 2 conclusions: 1) none of those who agree with the ACIP’s new changes have read any experts’ comments about why they’re bad; and, 2) it wouldn’t matter if they had. #vaccineswork
